| The original is such a great anime, if watching Hunter x Hunter for the first time it is what you should watch. |
 |
| You should definitely watch the original if you're really into this. Actually, I can't see anyone interested in anime who doesn't know about HxH unless you're 12 years old, it's a really good anime and even better manga. Also, it's already clear this remake will suck, I wouldn't mind changing the excellent seiyuus, composers and all the staff related in the first one, but they're taking the kiddie path thanks to Ishihara and even destroyed one of the most interesting chracters already (Hisoka). I can already see this remake bombing and any chance of getting Chimera ant arc animated buried for another 10 years. |
| The minute they started messing with Hisoka's character was the minute I started having doubts. However I'd say be a cool kid and just watch em both. |

| I was planning on watching the original, but I think I'll go for this one, because it just seems more convenient. I keep up more with currently airing anime, than I do with things that have finished airing. If I'm not satisfied with this one by the end, then maybe I'll give the original a try ^_^ |

I dont want to see that when I could be watching something with 10000000x better quality. I'm with you. Don't bother watching the original HxH. It sucks. I hope this going to be much better. Well, I said this because I've read the manga. Both HxH and FMA. And both HxH and FMA first anime not that good. |
 |
| Actually it is considered to be an almost perfect adaptation. If we don't like it then it means that you don't like HxH as a whole. |
| There will NEVER EVER be better Hisoka. |
| If it is anything like FMA Brotherhood or Hellsing Ultimate, this will be much better. |
 |
| Definitely watch the original first. Animation is acceptible and plot is wellplayed |
| why is it called «remake» of 99 series? it's just another adaptation of original manga = «reboot». first adaptations of unfinished fma and hellsing failed, so afterwards they produced much better reboots. first HxH was just 62 eps in bad quality, so I have hopes for the new series: as for today HxH manga has material for more than 200 episodes and animation quality is really good. I think it's a total win )) |
| Without seeing the original anime or reading the manga. You're not gonna get much out of this. |
 |
| If you're HxH fan you must see both of them :-P But, for the first time I recommend for watching the original series first because it has a good plot. I don't know for remake version since it still 1 episode aired. But after watching first episode I think the remake version will have a fast pace. So, if you want to know more about Hunter's world, it's better to watch the original series first. |

| Original is a MUST to see... voice cast and everything is good...or read the manga which is also a good choice :D |
     |
| I've been hearing people complaining non-stop about how the remake sucks and the original is beyond awesome. I decided to re-read the manga alongside the remake to see how well it matched up, and so far it's a near perfect adaptation (with very, very minute differences). I know i haven't watched the original so i can't do any proper comparisons between the two in terms of BGM and voice acting, but so far the remake is really good. Seriously, read the manga, you'll know what i'm talking about. I don't care how much your nostalgia boner loves the original, enjoy the new show and wait patiently for it to animate the Chimera Arc! |

Seriously, read the manga, you'll know what i'm talking about. I don't care how much your nostalgia boner loves the original, enjoy the new show and wait patiently for it to animate the Chimera Arc! The first episode of the 1999 anime is actually more true to the original storyline than the remake. Episodes two and three of the remake, however, follow the manga almost exactly, whereas there were some minor changes made in the original anime. However, there is much more than simply following the original storyline that is necessary to make an anime good. So far, I think the remake is okay. The voice acting is decent. The animation is fine, although I expected a significant improvement from the original in that regard. Unfortunately, the music is quite bad, and it does detract quite a bit from the enjoyment of the new series. It sounds cheesy, and it doesn't fit the overall atmosphere of the story or characters. The music of the original anime was much more appropriate. I'm glad that you are enjoying the new series, but I don't understand why you expect everyone else to. As with anything else, there are people who will love it, and people who will hate it. Different people have different tastes and expectations. Also, you really can't see it from the perspective of someone who has been a fan of the original for many years. I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, but perhaps if you tried watching the original, you would understand why we think it is "beyond awesome." The remake does have big shoes to fill. :) |
| Just watch the original, then watch the new and then like 90% of the viewers, complain about how different they are. |

The original contains quite a bit of filler. If you choose to watch the original first, you need to understand that not everything you see there is going to be in the remake. No it does not have quite a bit of filler. It hardly has any. The original honestly was turning me off of reading the Manga, because there were things in the plotline that felt wrong, but having watched the first three episodes of the new adaptation, I felt like giving the Manga a go ahead. No matter how many times I read this from you it still sounds like horseshit. "I've never read the manga but upon seeing the original series I could spot where it split from the manga instantly." Yeah right. |
 |
| I looked at HxH half a year ago and put it aside but then the 2011 version came along and I watched 1 episode..after that I watched all HxH episodes in less then 3 days goood it was a good anime! Really liked the VAs of the original and they seem to fit the characters more then the new VAs hope the pace is a bit faster and contineus where the original HxH left us oblivious (Did read the manga) |
| I'd say watch both i've seen the original too but I hate and want to kill people who say the original is better then still troll on the remake, why can't they stfu and stop watching the remake then? I've seen alot of people in the forums lately who kept watching the remake and they hate it. |

| Remakes are better??? Well HxH 2011 is Bullcrap!!! Voice sucks, art is mediocre, action where is it? Too many important plots we're skip. Instead of having 4 episodes they squeezed it to 1. Overall BS!! Don't watch this unless you've watch the original or read the manga period. |
| Well... It all depends on the person. Some people who have read the manga and watched the original think the reboot is terrible, others who have read the manga and seen the original (like myself) like the new version. I think the people who have enjoyed the new version the most are the ones who either haven't seen the original or haven't read the manga. Personally, I love it because it's Hunter x Hunter and I want a complete adaption, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its faults such as bad BGM, skipped important scenes, ect. I view the new version differently, seeing the old version and reading the manga have helped me like it more because I already understand what has happened even if it was skipped in the new version. I do understand the frustration though from the long time fans who have been let down by the new version. So honestly the only way to find out if you want to watch the original or the new version is to sample both and see which one you would rather watch. |
| I would watch this new adaptation first for a while but I would definitely watch the original adaptation at some point because it is great and it would be hard for the new one to live up to those standards. |
| watch both ^_^ |

| Watch the old one untill you finish the hunter exam ( will be a but different than the manga and 2011 anime version). |
| Shonen! |
| What exactly are the differences between the original and the 2011 remake? I always thought it was just a remastering of old animation. The anime up to date has remained faithful to the manga AFAIK. The only difference I saw was in Chapter 1 & Episode 1, where the latter did not show the flashback of Gon meeting Kite for the first time. But that was later shown in the anime when Gon & Killua meet Kite after departing from Greed Island. It would have been nice to see that flashback way back in Episode 1, Episode 1 was pretty weak. I actually put off the anime because of it but later picked it back up after I saw an episode from the Yorknew arc that my brother was watching. So glad that I continued it or else I would have missed out on what is now one of my favorite anime of all time. |

Glad you brought that up, because I've seen most people who've read the manga say the 2011 one is more faithful. Also, that was back in 2011. Things have changed since then. And, maybe fearthebeard can specify what exactly he meant back then? |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |

insan3Spectre said: Well if they skipped scenes then they skipped scenes, that wouldn't change. The Kite scene we knew would be brought up later and really wouldn't brought up as scenes.

Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| I think the common criticism back when this first came out was that this version was lighter than the 1999 series, that it "dumbed down" the series. People thought Hisoka was going to be toned down, that he was going to be a "brave man". I think it's pretty obvious at this point that wasn't the case. I honestly could not tell you if, other than Kite, anything important was cut in this series. I don't feel as though there was, but I haven't read the manga and can't say for sure. I can say that the filler that was cut out was a detraction from 1999 series. My personal favorite example being the girl who tries to get revenge on Killua. It's a decent idea, but the problem was that it almost completely undermined the sort of "darkness" you are supposed to feel for the character at that point. I said it before, but I did like the sequence with the ship though. I will definitely say I think the music the 99 series in the Hunter Exam was better, some of the tracks just didn't fit in the 2011 version. The soundtrack has gotten much better as it's gone on, though. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| There is plenty of subtle things that the 99 anime changed. - Killua introduced himself to Gon while the 99 anime switched it around. - Tonpa bits were different, - Leorio's background was changed. - They made Leorio take the badge from Ponzu while she was unconscious when it was really Gon who took it. -The dialogue between Sato and Gon was changed when he was talking about his dad and the tournament. - Little fillers that made Kurpika come off more girly. -Gon's mom is dead and is also the sister of Mito (Mito is not related nor is there confirmation of Gon's mom being dead) There is plenty more but it's been long time since i watched the old anime and read the manga. As for the 2011 anime.. -Kaito and Ging's hunter card -sushi exam -Leorio's bits in Zoldyk arc My memory is vague but i'm sure there is more. The 2011 anime overall followed the story more closely while the 1999 followed the story but also made subtle changes and made it less faithful. |
noonealive said: Thanks a lot for this. I'm definitely gonna check it out. AmGodBrah said: 2011 is better by far All these comments 3 years ago full of hate saying it wont be as good so sad That's how it usually is. Anyway, I'm sure many of their opinions have changed. HxH 2011 is one of the best things to have ever happened to the series' relevance. |
| I'd like to think Togashi taking the manga off hiatus has something to do with this anime. I have no evidence, though. |

Not what I was saying, I know the anime will have to go on hiatus. In fact, if it didn't and went with fillers I would probably be pretty disappointed. I also agree that if it was solely for the anime it would have been earlier, I just like to think it played a part in his choice that's all. |
